My professional philosophy is:

• Pareto everything
  I'd rather go to market with an 80% solution now than wait a year for 100%.
• Margin above all
  Whether it comes from topline growth or bottomline cost savings, margin drives profits.
• Do it myself
  Why wait a week for someone to "pull the data," when I can do it today with some SQL & javascript?
